Adolph Menzel's 1838 lithograph, *Allegorie op het 50-jarige jubileum van Johann Gottfried Schadow als rector en directeur van de Koninklijke Academie te Berlijn, 26 januari 1838*, commemorates the 50th anniversary of Johann Gottfried Schadow as rector and director of the Royal Academy in Berlin. The work depicts Schadow seated, surrounded by figures symbolizing the arts, including an angel placing a laurel wreath upon his head. The composition uses a classical frame with a shallow relief, similar to a medal, to showcase the central figure of Schadow and his accomplishments. This lithograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Schadow and his influence on the arts in Berlin.
